Heck Yes Coffee 4012

Heck Yes Coffee 4012 is a small walk-up cafe at 66 Rode Road in Wavell Heights, hard to miss with its pink and purple fit-out. It runs on specialty coffee and quick bites, opening 6am to 1pm every day of the week.

The dog setup

This is a genuinely pup-friendly counter, and dogs on leads are part of the regular morning scene. Street-level access and the front seating make it easy to keep your dog beside you while you order, and the crew is known for being pleased to see them. If you are new to the suburb, it is the kind of counter where the regulars' orders start before the coffee does.

The street frontage is straight onto Rode Road, so pick a spot clear of passing foot traffic and carry a water bowl if you are staying a while.

The vibe

Orders come out with a little freckle chocolate on the saucer, and the food side is built around toasties and bagels, including rotating specials like a slow-cooked Massaman beef toastie. There are gluten-free options, sweet treats by the register and loyalty cards for the daily regulars. The early close means it is a breakfast stop rather than an afternoon one.

Getting there

Street parking runs along Rode Road and the surrounding residential streets. For most locals it is an easy walk-in on the morning dog loop, and the counter handles a queue quickly at peak time.

Pair it with

Make it the coffee leg of a walk that finishes at the Wavell Dog Off-Leash Area or Turquoise Place Park, both in the suburb. Retroespresso is another Wavell Heights coffee stop if you are doing a cafe crawl.
